On the morning of 31 October 2003 a thirteen-year-old went out here with her best friend Alana Blanchard and Alana's father and brother, and while she was lying stomach-down on her board a fourteen-foot tiger shark took her left arm off at the shoulder. Fishermen caught a tiger shark of that length about a mile away days later. She was back competing inside a year and turned professional, wrote a book about it the following year called Soul Surfer, and the 2011 film of that name is her story.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
